Chapter 7: patient

Siberian snow is crystalline and granular, and it even slightly hurts when it falls on people's faces.
Quentin, the black man, pulled out the knife at his waist. The shape of the knife was a bit strange, and it looked crude and crude compared with the general finely crafted military knives.
Quentin seemed to be muttering to himself, "This knife has been with me for a long time. It is not a good knife, it is only used to harvest bananas. But this knife has pulled me back from the edge of death countless times. I survived the massacre, so all I depend on is patience and vigilance except this knife."
The young man who had previously shouted that he didn't want to do it, looked back at this gloomy black man, who was as gloomy as a stone. He seems to regret the impulse just now, but now it's useless to say anything.
Quentin stuck the knife in the snow, and at the same time, his fist had hit the young man's face. When the young man was beaten up his head, Quentin suddenly raised his knee and hit his abdomen.
The young man fell down without a grunt, the blood on his face splashed on the snow, shocking.
Quentin stepped his head into the snow and shouted, "Do you know how much a real Tutsi hunter has to pay for a prey? I used to chase an antelope barefoot. Under the scorching sun of Africa, I ran for four or five hours continuously. When I pierced the body of the antelope with a spear, it even stood still because it was exhausted."
The person who was stepped on the snow struggled to raise his head, but he was stepped on the snow.
All of these mercenary students were panicked, and Lin Rui even got up and shouted, "Enough, you will kill him like this!" His first grasped Quentin's wrist.
Quentin glanced at him, shook off his hand, and said coldly, "The antelope runs very fast, at least much faster than humans, but you know why I can catch up with it? Footprints, breath, it has eaten The grass is the reason why I chased it. Do you think I let you lie in the snow just for fun? I am teaching you how to hide yourself. Learn to be alert and learn to be patient. Only in this way can you survive. The rules of the battlefield are simple. People on the battlefield have only two choices, either hunt or be hunted."
Quentin raised his feet, turned to look at Lin Rui, and said to him, "You, help him continue to go back to lying on the snow. The training time for both of you is doubled. For him , You must train patience. And for you, you need to wear off the blood in your body. Reckless and impulsive, many rookie soldiers die from these two problems every day."
"Then, can we go now?" Qin Fen asked tentatively.
"No. Because this person is your teammate. When teammates are in danger, he is the only one to stand up." Quentin smiled coldly, "This shows that all of you lack team awareness, so you You have to stay. Training time is also extended."
When this training was over, Lin Rui's legs had even been frozen and lost consciousness, and he walked back into the training base with full support. He felt that the two legs he was moving were almost not his own. The other people around him were no better than him, lying in the snow in this icy world, their faces turned blue with cold.
"All of you, go to Tang's place and get checked. I don't want anyone to miss the next training for this." Quentin glanced at these people and said coldly.
Tang Kun checked them and made sure that they were okay before letting these mercenary students go back individually.
At this moment, Zhao Jianfei walked in and looked at Quentin with a smile, "How do you feel about them on the first day of today?"
"It's just a bunch of rubbish." Quentin said coldly.
"Not entirely." Tang Kun said slowly, "They all have received basic military training and have certain qualities. It's not bad for newcomers to have this."
"However, that Chinese kid is a bit interesting. He almost shot against me today." Quentin took a breath of cigarettes and said slowly.
Zhao Jianfei shrugged and said, "They are all Chinese boys. You know that these students are all from China. Which one are you talking about, um, Lin Rui?"
"Sorry, I don't know their names very well, but it should be that." Quentin glanced at him. "It is said that he defeated the white bear as soon as he came?"
"That's right, but you are not the first person to be optimistic about him." Zhao Jianfei said slowly, "He was recruited by Silver Wolf himself."
Tang Kun was startled slightly, "Michelle?"
"Yeah. You know, it won't be too bad for him to look at him. Okay, let's rest, and tomorrow I have to toss these first brothers." Zhao Jianfei smiled and turned and walked out. In the corridor outside, when he passed by Lin Rui, he patted Lin Rui's shoulder along the way and said faintly, "Boy, come here, I have something to tell you."
Zhao Jianfei walked ahead, and Lin Rui dragged his heavy legs behind him. He tried to ask Zhao Jianfei several times, but he still held back.
The corridors of the underground base are narrow and dim, only illuminated by a dim light at the top of the corridor.
Zhao Jianfei slowly turned around and said, "It is said that you were very brave today and saved someone from Quentin?"
"I don't think I'm very brave." Lin Rui said calmly.
"In fact, you are really not brave enough. If Quentin wants to kill that student, you can't stop it." Zhao Jianfei sneered, "He just wants to establish authority, he only wants your simplest obedience, and The confrontation that the man chose. Do you think this is wise?"
"I'm not wise, but I don't deserve to die." Lin Rui looked at Zhao Jianfei.
"Should you die? Let's leave it alone." Zhao Jianfei smiled slightly, "Do you know why Morningstar has spent such a high price to train you?"
"Didn't it mean to cooperate with the various parties to perform military tasks?" Lin Rui frowned.
Zhao Jianfei nodded, "Yes, nominally I have contacts with the military of many countries. We assist them in military training, base services, logistics supplies, and other peripheral tasks. We are not responsible for participating directly in the war. This sounds like nothing. What's so strange, many countries are like this. But in fact, I can give you a set of data. During the Iraq War, the number of killed employees of various military security companies totaled tens of thousands for the first time, which has exceeded the number. The number of regular troops killed in battle. Do you know why? Because what we do is far more than just peripheral work. What we do is the most dangerous line of fire missions."
Lin Rui raised his head and said, "What do you want to say?"
"What I want to say is, learn to be smart. We call you together, train you, invest in you, and don’t want to lose everything because of a bullet on the battlefield. So everyone here must learn to survive on the battlefield. . And Quentin is trying hard to teach you this." Zhao Jianfei looked at Lin Rui slowly and said, "Tell me, do you want to go back alive?"
"Yes." Lin Rui looked at him and said.
"So study hard, don't get into trouble again." Zhao Jianfei said indifferently, "Walk out of this training camp smoothly, and your chances of surviving on the battlefield can rise by at least ten percent. You are a smart person, this is a very Good deal, don't mess up."
Lin Rui looked at him and said solemnly, "Why do you say this to me?"
"Because someone admires you very much, and he has never seen it. Whether it is me, Quentin or Tang Kun, this person has valued it. And we have all experienced the rain of bullets and completed many highly dangerous tasks. And survived smoothly," Zhao Jianfei said coldly. "Now go back to the room and take a good rest. There will be tomorrow's training schedule tomorrow."
Lin Rui hesitated and nodded, "Thank you."
Dragging his heavy legs, Lin Rui returned to the room. After sitting down, he almost didn't want to get up.
At this time, someone pushed him and whispered, "Thank you for what happened today. If it weren't for you, I might be beaten to death by that guy."
Lin Rui raised his head and looked at him, only then did he realize that this man was the young man who was beaten up by Quentin today.
Lin Rui didn't say anything, just sat calmly.
"Okay, don't bother him, he doesn't like talking very much." Qin Fen leaned over. "I said, the two of you are really capable of tossing today. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to suffer this crime. By the way, brother, what is your name?"
"Jin Haoshan, how about you?" the young man said.
"My name is Qin Fen, and his name is Lin Rui." Qin Fen whispered, "I can see it. It's better to keep a low profile here. These people are all desperadoes, and it's a bit light to beat you today. The emperor is far away, even if they pull you out and kill you, there is no place for you to complain."
Jin Haoshan was dazed, "Isn't that enough?"
"Not so?" Qin Fen sneered. "You didn't realize how strict the security measures are here. The people at the door are all loaded with guns and live ammunition. Killing individuals is nothing to them. What military security company? To put it bluntly Mercenary company. Do you still expect to reason with them? Stop dreaming."
"But we all have a contract, the big deal is that I quit the head office?" Jin Haoshan said unwillingly.
"Do you think this is a vegetable market? If you want to quit, you can quit?" Qin Fen frowned and said in a low voice, "I heard that once we go abroad, the company will find a way to eliminate our domestic presence. Identity. Now even if you want to go back, you can’t go back. Train obediently and work for them obediently. Maybe there will be a chance. If you want to quit now, can the company let you go?"
Lin Rui got up a little bored, he really didn't want to listen to this anymore. Although he knew what Qin Fen said was the actual situation now.
Jin Haoshan hesitated, looked around, lowered his voice and said, "It's really not possible, let's find a way to escape!"
